Will the Thule easyfold xt fit two rad expand 5 bikes? I see that it will fit one but I’m worried about two.

Expert Reply:

Absolutely, yes; a pair of RadExpand 5 electric bikes are 100 percent compatible with the EasyFold, which is the following part number:

- Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202

The RadExpand 5 bikes weigh 62-1/2 lbs with the batteries on, and the EasyFold XT # TH903202 has a 65 lb per-bike weight capacity. Also your bikes fall right within the wheelbase range of the EasyFold, and the only other thing you will need if your bikes have the 4 inch fat tires is the Fat Bike Straps for Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH985101.

The EasyFold is a really smart choice for your RadExpand bikes because apart from just having the ability to carry your bikes, it is the simplest bike rack on the market to use. It comes with an aluminum ramp that allows you to load up and remove your heavy bike with minimal effort, and getting it from storage to your vehicle (and vice-versa) is a breeze because it completely folds up and has wheels and a handle. It also installs in your hitch with just the twist of a knob, and offers security for both the rack and your bikes due to its integrated locks.

I am about to proceed w my thule Easyfold xt order but worried that the locking clamps on the rack wont work with the Rad expand 5 as the frame is 7.5 inches. Please advise. Thx

@DonnaP The clamps on this bike rack are adjustable to fit different size bike frames. It does have a maximum bike tube diameter of 3-1/8". When you are getting the 7-1/2" what are you measuring on the frame, is it diameter?

@DonnaP Gotcha, the Thule Easyfold XT # TH903202 is not going to work with a 7.5" bike tube diameter. That frame is a big larger than standard bikes which is why that wont work. I recommend taking a look at the Thule Verse # TH64SA and see if that is something that will work for your bike. This one is going to work with your frame width, but drops down to a 60lb per bike capacity. Let me know what you think of this one.
